SSC PF Grievous or SSC 1/6 Grievous?

[mao86]

I'm looking to get a General Grievous but am torn between getting the SSC PF Grievius or wait for the upcoming release of the SSC 1/6 Grievous. I really want both but money, space and Pre-orders will prevent me from doing that! Which would you guys/gals buy?

by HT Grievous, do you mean Sideshow 1:6 Grievous?

Sideshow premium format hands down.

I'd go with the 1:6th figure but it's SS making it not HT. it's as detailed IMO and won't eat up as much display space.

Re: PF Grievous or HT Grievous?

If posability, size and money are non factors then I'd go PF all the way. If those happen to be factors, then yeah I guess it really depends on your preferences.

Re: PF Grievous or HT Grievous?

Depends on the scale you want cause I'm pretty sure the details will be the same cause both are made by SSC. If you want a bigger canvas then go for the PFF but be ready to pay a premuim price of it. Me? I'll go for SSC 1/6th version since it's latest, more affordable & have articulations..and it's 1/6th!

definitely 1:6... articulation is everything.

The 1/6 looks to blow the PF away.

Yeah, I meant SSC 1/6. I love the large scale of the PF. I've pre-ordered the the new SSC 1/6 Boba Fett, Luke DX, Battle Driods. I guess I should stick with the 1/6 scale. Recently i've seen some PF Grievous go for about $450-$500 (ebay). I haven't seen them that low in a while so it got me thinking about going for the Huge Monster!

Wait until the 1/6 figures comes out and then make your decision, the price of the pf might stay around that price with there being a new high end grievous on the market so I wouldn't rush out and buy it now if I were you.

O and best edit your thread title.

The 1/6 General will only be $200 too, so that is another thing in his favor. Plus with the droids and others in your collection, that makes the choice for 1/6 even more right.

 

[chRd]

both are promising. just check your space, if you've room for a great centerpiece, go with the PF, you won't regret it. if all you've got is a space on a detolf, no other option but to go with the 1:6

Nah man, the 3 3/4" blows both of them out of the water.

What was shown at SDCC was only half way what the finished piece is designed to be. The PF is excellent, but I think the final 1/6 is going to be mind blowing.

Agreed. I had the PF and it actually isn't that great. From the photos I've seen of the 1/6 it seems far more screen accurate.

 

[Spicymustard]

I don't think its that easy, I mean even if the 1/6th is slightly more accurate (I'm assuming it's less detailed though due to the size), if you put it next the the PF its still going to look like a miniature plasticy version. Kind of like if you compare a 32" TV with great picture vs a 50" TV with so-so picture, size isn't a non-factor. I mean imagine if the 3 3/4" version really had the hot toys treatment and was just absolutely amazingly detailed, I really don't think people would be quick to say that its the "better" version, due to its inferior size.

Nah! It's the keychain that takes the cake.

You know what they say about assuming

There isn't any reason anymore for 1/4 to be more detailed than 1/6. PFs are outdated dinos right now until they get a rehaul.

I tend to agree. I've got a dozen 1/4 (and i love them) but some of this new 1/6 stuff coming through is amazing.

I have the 1:4 PF and have to tell you it would be hard to top that.

The material they used and the details they gave the PF would be hard to match in the 1:6 with a $200 price restriction.


But time will tell
